Item Lore
The *Dieffenbachia seguine*, commonly known as the dumb cane, derives its name from the calcium oxalate crystals in its sap, which can cause temporary swelling of the throat and speechlessness if ingested. Originally native to the tropical Americas, it has become a staple of interior horticulture due to its hardy nature and striking, variegated foliage.
